Best Western Hotel Acqua Novella

We always come to this area for the food, we promised ourself we will come every year to have a dinner at Luna e Laltra (you can read it in my other review). So because i have an extra point of my best western and i can get a free night, i choose this hotel. Easy to find with a car, the parking also in front of the hotel and the reception is open 24 hour i guess, because we arrived pretty late, we have our room, a sea view and when we open the window, the wave hitting the beach sound so amazing, it really comforting, not to loud but just a perfect rhythm to accompany you sleep, like a music from sportify that you can choose for sleeping, anyway. The room itself is standard, size and bed, the toilet also roomy enough, not that small. we are there in april, so the weather is unpredictable, just our bad luck, it was raining the whole day and it is really cold, the hotel have his own swimming pool, it really nice and a lot chair to sit and enjoying the sun, one day i cannot help myself i jump to the pool, the water is freezing, but at least i am in, but only for a minute or so, then i got up and the sun is shinning and dry and warm my body so quick. we rent a bicycle (first hour is free, the next 1 hour is 3 euro), it was great, we cycling to town and go the restaurant and do a sightseeing. There was an elevator (lift) that move 90 degree, that take you and your bicycle to the hotel or to the street down below. The WIFI is good, we enjoy the balcony in the restaurant just ordering a cappuccino and watch the sea and the cold water and wish we come here during summer. We will definitely come back during summer, but as you know this place will be fully book during summer time and beach will be crowded and you cannot even just walk there and rent a beach chair because everything full book, we were there last time and its really hard to find a last minute hotel. so book in advance and choose this hotel. less

While coming back from Corsica we get down in Savona and choose this hotel which is 10 min from Savona. The location is awesome with very good view. They have 24 hour check-in and Front desk people are very nice and helpful. We reached late night and their restaurant was closed already, the front desk lady called the near by restaurant and ask them to wait for us before closing. Breakfast in just 2 or 3 Euro, oh man cant believe it. Rooms are bigger with nice view. They have bar open 24*7. less

The Acqua Novella is located across the street from the beach. The Location is great and the there's a roof terrace with a great view. The rooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable. The Decor is dated and in my opinion really tacky. Ok Value for money. Small parking. The pool wasn't open. less

The hotel is being showcased as a top class place in the pictures displayed on all web pages, but the fact is that the place is very very lousy. On the photo you can sea the sea view. = view of garbage - place or receptacle for waste material. Pls look at our photo of the sea view less

1. 3 TIMES WE FOUND OUR ROOM OPENED WHEN COMING BACK FROM THE BEACH (apparently after the cleaning staff left the room)!!! Each and every time we have adressed the issue at the reception. Manager NEVER contacted us although we have asked for it number of times. Only on the third day someone came to "fix the lock". Just a joke! 2. we had a room on the second Floor. As the Restaurant is above, on the third floor we could not sleep well. All the noise coming already at 7a.m...The same at the evening , till about 23... 2. Lifeguard does not care about children but more about his mobile... 3. The Service at the beach is the slowest I have ever seen (25minutes waiting for a toast?!) 4. There is a big problem with the parking space and it is quite possible you need to leave your car outside. 5. You have to pay for everything, including using beds on the hotel's private beach (min.24EUR..), parking space if you are happy enough to get it (10EUR a day),.. 6. The Location is not as good, it is quite far from the City 7. The breakfast is average 8. The only advantage is the hotel is really clean. And the view very nice (if you have a room on the proper site).. less
